Brian63 asked for capsule rebuttals for arguments for the existence of God. The following website might be helpful: It doesn't actually rebut the arguments, it just boils them down to their essential character, making the fundamental fallacy pretty obvious and clear.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.

Bad blogger. Bad!
ReplyDelete309. ARGUMENT FROM SCIENCE (II)
(1) Science is not always true.
(2) Therefore there is room for religious faith.
(3) Therefore, God exists.
That one manages to enscapulate the religious beliefs of millions and millions of people.

I love those. But you missed the disproofs of god's existence
ReplyDeleteSlut: I know about those. They're kind of boring: They're mostly the original 300 with "theist" replaced by "atheist".
ReplyDeleteThe original 300 are mostly moderately accurate summaries of arguments theists actually make.
One must, on both sides, take care to avoid the fallacy fallacy: Just because an argument is fallacious doesn't mean the conclusion is false. In the case of theism, the logic goes the other way: Because God does not exist, theists promote fallacious arguments.
